Abstract
Description
- The present is directed to an adjustable mounting plate assembly comprising a channel track for engagement with the surface of a desk.
- Adjustable mounting plate assembly are increasingly prevalent in modern life.
- In a computer system, a monitor is secured to a supporting apparatus such a surface of a desk. A typical supporting apparatus includes a base member stably seated on a horizontal plane such as a desk, and a hinge connecting the base member to the monitor. Thus, the monitor can be tilted upwards or downwards to a desired viewing angle. However, users may need to adjust the monitor in a right direction or a left direction, and it is inconvenient and laborious to adjust the supporting apparatus synchronistically with the monitor.
- In the past people have placed video monitors and other electronic equipment on desks, tabletops, or upon other equipment such as personal computers or workstations. One drawback to these configurations is the reduction in available workspace taken up by the equipment. Another drawback is the inability to place the equipment in a desired location. A further drawback is the potential for eye strain, neck strain and/or a cumulative trauma disorder such as carpel tunnel syndrome from poor placement of devices such as monitors and keyboards.
